Abstract

This article points to the key elements that constitute the poetics of Fisicromia series developed by Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez between the years of 1959 and 2011. The analysis of some works that comprise the phases of the series allows us to observe the trajectory of an aesthetic firmly based on the subject of color, seen by the artist as manifestation of light in space, endowed with dynamism and mutability, and therefore liable to be seen as an event.
